for "cbs this morning," i'm jim axelrod in new york. >>> senior correspondent john miller, a former fbi assistant director, is joining us now. so what's the status of this thing now? >> charlie, this thing is going to hell in a hand best. [ laughter ] >> love is complicated. >> it is. >> well i don't know where to go, you know. shell gets off the plane. he's the victim. he is selling his interviews for $1,000 a pop or exclusive to the highest bidder. but he was arrested by texas authorities for outstanding warrants for a series of crimes back here. so the victim is in custody. the alleged perpetrator, who called the ops center and identified himself as george michael, should be expecting a knock at the door because i think the fbi is going to wake him up before he go-goes. >> what would they say? >> i think they'll say you're under arrest for violation of code which carries a maximum of five years in prison and fines that are very creative. there was a case just like this in philly in 2005. a woman is late for the plane. she forgot her passport. she doubles back to get it. she calls in

why can't the fbi get in there and do what they were sent there to do? >> the security situation on the ground there is so brittle that the libyan government is very reluctant to have a team of a couple of dozen fbi people go into benghazi when the only people they could get to protect them are the militias. right now they don't trust any of the militias. the key militia that's in charge of protecting the hospital where the wounded were taken from this attack is suspected to be behind the attack. that crime scene's long ago compromised, trampled through, looted. it may or may not yield anything terribly important. if it does, it will yield it later. it's a difficult situation. >> is there any more information on this question of how much this may have been a pre-planned attack? >> there is, and i think you've kind of put your thumb on the pulse of the problem there because in these groups we look for -- we want a wearing diagram. we want an organized picture. it was al qaeda who ordered it. it was this group that assisted. the problem is the lines are bl
